The problem is not the aircraft, or the tiny maps, it's the fact that this is not WW2, nor is it real life. This is something we do for fun, because we enjoy it. NO one is really going to fly for 4 hours to do 30 seconds of combat. Who has the time for that?
Enforcing your distored reality on everyone only will lead to an empty server.
When aircraft in the sim are exposed as being poorly modeled, eveyone goes ballistic and demands a fix, yet now you propose a totally unrelistic solution, accelerated fuel burn, to a non-problem.
You cannot re-create WW2. You can't. Nor can you enforce your ideas of what is "proper". It doesn't work. It's been tried over and over again on countless now dead servers, and by guys like me that got all caught up in uber realism at the expense of enjoyable play.

Hey! Some of my most successful sorties have been on big maps with the airfield far apart. I take off and get lost and fly around going "Where the hell are those (Bule/Red
Delete own side) planes! I tend to get shot down less on those maps!
I do agree that that it is a fine balancing act between realism and enjoyable game play. Which comes down to the skill of the mission designer.
As long as there is a level playing field, half the fun is knowing what you can and can't do with your plane and staying just this side of what you can do.
That's whats going to make the 4.10 patch so interesting. There's going to be a lot of re-learning going to happening one it's released.
Cheers!
